The error message was changed by b6c4cec (read_sha1_file(): report
correct name of packfile with a corrupt object, 2010-10-28) and
especially v1.7.3-rc0~73^2 (sha1_file: Show the the type and path to
corrupt objects, 2010-06-10).

Random guess: maybe a corrupt but redundant packed object was removed
in the course of investigation?  Sylvestre, are you still able to get
errors from the repository?  If you still have a copy of the original
corrupt version of the repository, I would be interested (to learn
something about how it got damaged in the first place).
